* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018), HUTS AND HEN HOUSES mixed media on card, signed and dated 2001; titled in pencil verso 41cm x 50cm Framed and under glass. Note: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career.
* AVRIL PATON (SCOTTISH b 1941), THE ALLOTMENT watercolour on paper, signed 45cm x 90cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Provenance: acquired by the vendor from Gatehouse Gallery, Rouken Glen Road, Giffnock. Label verso: Gatehouse Gallery, Rouken Glen Road, Giffnock. Inscribed with title, artist's name and dated 1995. Note: a remarkably rare work by Avril Paton, the artist who painted "Windows in the West", one of Scotland's best known and most popular contemporary paintings which was acquired for the nation by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and is currently on display at Kelvingrove Gallery, Glasgow. There has been much written about Paton's work from the 1990's explaining the meticulous detail and the many months it took to complete a single picture. Paton eventually moved on to a more spontaneous abstract style of work and consequently her watercolours from the 1990's are a distinct isolated body of work and the examples from this time are few and rarely, if ever, appear at auction. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction on 16th August 2020 lot 591 Topping Out Day by Avril Paton was sold for a new auction record price of £8000. The Allotment has been consigned from the same collection. Avril Paton's work from this period has been studied as part of the curriculum for many of the nation's youth and there are several talks and discussions on YouTube.
* PETER GRAHAM ROI (SCOTTISH b 1959), OLD TOWN, ALTEA gouache on paper, signed and dated '89 75cm x 62cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Note: A rare appearance at auction for one of Scotland's and the UK's most successful contemporary artists. Peter Graham was born in Glasgow in 1959. He attended the Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1980. In 2000 Peter was elected to Full Membership of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, R.O.I. Peter has earned a reputation as one of Britain’s most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists. His work is often related to the Modern Scottish School but Peter has a flamboyant style which is unique, – detailed brush work combined with loose fluid strokes creating vibrant contrasts of pure colour, line and tone. In the winter months within his studio he delves deeply into the still life genre, creating some of his most stunning compositions, always with colour the dominant theme but reflecting the heightened sense of atmosphere and passion that comes directly from painting in the beauty of the Mediterranean. Recently, hugely successful exhibitions in London have allowed Peter to take on extra studio space and his work is being enthusiastically exhibited by many of the UK's most prestigious galleries.

Giant Gunnera watercolour 75 x 54cmFootnote: Provenance By descent within the family of the artist In 1891, a year after her birth, Mary Melville Foster (née Farrer) and her family relocated from Ingleborough, Yorkshire to New Zealand. Fourteen years later, aged 15, Melville Foster returned to Europe to commence her studies - first at the Slade School of Fine Art, and then in Paris, where she became involved in the modern art scene. During her career, Mary Melville Foster exhibited at the London Group, New English Art Club and at the Royal Academy. She hosted several solo exhibitions in London galleries, and aged 75, held a retrospective in Gloucestershire. Mary had two daughters, one of whom, Susan, later became a sculptor and artist.

Jacob Epstein (American-British, 1880-1959), Reclining Nude Sketch, signed bottom left, mounted and framed. Measurements 43 x 55 cm (i), frame 62 x 72 cm Label verso: Previously sold at Gorringes, 2013 Jacob Epstein was a pioneer of modern sculpture and one of the most influential and controversial artists of the modern era, with his typically avant-garde and rough-hewn realist sculpture and artworks inspiring the next generation of sculptors such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Epstein's work was considered extremely controversial for its time, with his explicit and erotically charged works moving away from the classical conventions of sculptural aesthetics which dominated sculptural and artistic norms of the day. He actively challenged the ideas of what is appropriate public art, with many of his works being censored and openly criticised as inappropriate and shocking for Edwardian society.

* Justin Knowles [1935-2004]-WD..55.ii.03; red, yellow, green, blue,:- initialled J.K. and dated 2002/3papier collé on graph paper withprinted signature and date 200242 x 59cm.* Biography Justin Knowles [1935-2004] was born in Exeter and after National Service worked in industry and advertising travelling extensively on the continent and in Africa. In the 1960s work focussed on free-standing sculptural shapes, two of which the Arts Council acquired. Mixed exhibitions included John Moores Liverpool in 1965 and Plymouth City Art Gallery in 1967. A major studio fire in 1973 caused the loss of most of his uninsured collection and led to what Knowles called his 'silent time', and after the 1973 show at Waddington Galleries it would be over twenty years before he exhibited again. A chance meeting with Patrick Heron and the art collector David Thomson sparked a return to serious art production in a range of materials. He gained a series of awards and there were commissions from both Exeter and Winchester cathedrals, and shows at The City of Bath College, Michael Wood Fine Art in Plymouth, Austin Desmond Fine Art and The Lemon Street Gallery in Truro. The Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and University of Warwick are among the institutions that hold examples of his work.
